Christianity partly gained influence because it is a slave's power fantasy, but also one that keeps him a slave.
"You're oh so persecuted by the evil rich and powerful people, but you'll never be like them! God himself had to come down to fix you because you can't do it."
This is nothing but slave morality, which is not only wrong for a society, but it is FICTIONAL.
Everything is done to the slave, the slave never does anything.
This puts the slave into a sad plight where he is thrown off course by fate at random, so, in theory, it should be a devastatingly nihilistic worldview.
And yet, it is actually pacifying to the slave, because this means the slave can't, and thus, won't, try and do anything to change his condition.
But regardless of his doing nothing, the Universe still loves him, just because. He still deserves eternal life and happiness eventually, because everyone does, because we said so. Add to that the idea that everyone is equal and the only thing that matters is faith in what your priest tells you, and you can brainwash nations into a Dark Age.
Zevism is here to show great things. To show the Gods, their glory and teachings, to show you yourself, your potential and where you come from.
But we also tell things that will initially shock a newcomer. Nobody is coming to save you. The rich man bossing over you is made up of the same materials as you, and has the same claim to the Universe as you. The debt is on you to change those positions, and maybe even act morally when you gain power. If you do not choose one day, internally, to have a better life, nature will let you get crushed, because that is what you chose.
